.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBzstd\fR is a fast lossless compression algorithm.
|
|
It is based on the \fBLZ77\fR family, with FSE & huff0 entropy stage.
|
|
zstd offers compression speed > 200 MB/s per core.
|
|
It also features a fast decoder, with speed > 500 MB/s per core.
|
|
|
|
\fBzstd\fR command line is generally similar to gzip, but features the following differences :
|
|
- Original files are preserved
|
|
- By default, \fBzstd file1 file2\fR means : compress file1 \fBinto\fR file2.
|
|
Use \fB-m\fR command if you want : compress file1 into file1.zstd and file2 into file2.zst
|
|
- By default, when compressing files, \fBzstd\fR displays advancement notification and result summary.
|
|
Use \fB-q\fR to turn them off
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBzstd\fR supports the following options :
